Why don't we see custom field option in setting section for Sandbox company?

Welcome to Community, @Rescale.

I'll share the steps on how you can add more custom fields to your invoices. Let me walk you through how.

1. Go to Gear at the top.
2. Under Lists, select Custom field.
3. Tap the Add custom field or Add field button.
4. Enter the details of your custom field.
5. Click Save. See the attached images below.

If you need to add a field to an existing invoice template, just click Edit and then Add item. Learn more about this feature in this article: Create and edit custom fields in QuickBooks Online Advanced.

Additionally, here's a link that covers all the tasks you can do when using QBO. Just choose a topic that fits your concern.

I'm always here if you have follow-up questions or concerns with invoices. Drop them in the comment section below and I'll be happy to answer them for you. Take care and have a lovely day.

Hi @ShiellaGraceA ,

The problem is "Custom Fields" option is not available to me. 

> 2. Under Lists, select Custom field. (Custom Field option is not available under Lists section)

How can we enable custom Field in Sandbox Quicbooks Online Advanced?

Please check attached screen shot.

Hello there, Rescale.

I can share some troubleshooting steps that can fix this issue.

Unexpected behavior like this is sometimes caused by stored internet files in the browser. To rule this out, you can access your QuickBooks account using a private or incognito window. This won't save any site data, cache, and cookies. You may use these shortcut keys:

• Press Ctrl + Shift + N for Google Chrome
• Press Command + Shift + N for Safari
• Hold Ctrl + Shift + P for Firefox & Microsoft Edge

If the program is now working, you can close the incognito window then go back to your normal browser. After that, you can clear the cache to remove accumulated internet junk files. This helps improve your browsing experience. Also, you can switch to other supported browsers to further isolate this issue.

In addition, if you have other concerns about using QuickBooks, feel free to visit our Help Articles page for walkthroughs of all of our features and tasks.

Let us know if you have further concerns about custom fields. We're always here to back you up.

Hi @Giovann_G 

I tried clearing the cache and also try in incognito window in Chrome and Firefox browser but no success. 

I also try with creating new Quickbook account from scratch and created sandbox company with "QuickBooks Online Advanced" but still I don't see custom field section in setting under lists section. 

I created Quickbook account from scratch using this signup page https://accounts.intuit.com/signup.html?offering_id=Intuit.devx.devx&redirect_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdeve...

Can you guys try creating new Quickbook development account from scratch and create sandbox company. And see if you can see the custom field option under Lists section?

I am attaching screenshot of incognito window. 

Thanks for getting back to us, @Rescale.

I appreciate you for following the steps shared by my colleagues above and providing a screenshot of your concern. Allow me to chime and share additional details, so you can see the Custom field section.

You can see the Custom field button when enabling it in the All lists section. From there, you can add your custom fields. Let me show you how.

1. Go to the Gear icon.
2. Under Lists choose All Lists.
3. From the Lists, menu select Custom Fields.
4. Click the Add custom field and enter the necessary details.
5. Once done, tap Save.

For detailed steps, you can check out this article: Add and create custom fields in QuickBooks.

If the issue persists, I would suggest contacting our Customer Support Team. They have available resources to look into your account and can further investigate this. Just follow the steps in this article on how to reach them: QuickBooks Online Support.

I'm adding these articles that will help you manage your custom fields and track the details that matter to most of you:

Hi @JoesemM

I have the same problem with our Sandbox. No Custom Fields option:

I go to the Cog > Lists

Custom Fields is not available in this section.

I go to the Cog > Lists > All Lists

There is no Custom Fields section here.

We do have it in our live environments, however. Just not on the sandbox.
